Chicago Indian Fusion Wedding
                     Chicago Indian 
Fusion Wedding
These lucky guys didn’t have just one wedding ceremony; they had two 
ceremonies hosted at The University of Chicago. During these ceremonies, 
they paid homage to their backgrounds and cultures right before having a 
banging reception party at the Museum of Contemporary Art. The entire 
celebration was an ode to beauty and flair, which reflected in the glamorous 
look of our gorgeous Maharani Anna. She looked like royalty thanks to 
The Bridal Beauty Team, whose talent and expertise in making brides look 
flawless for their big day is out of the question! And we want to give a big 
shoutout to Clementine Custom Events for the perfect planning and 
execution of this event, as it was a dream come true! And we can’t forget 
about the mesmerizing decor crafted by Flowers for Dreams; anywhere you 
looked, it had perfection written all over the place. So, kudos on their 
outstanding job! If you don’t want to miss any detail of this lovely 
celebration, head into our full gallery for more. You will love it and get tons 
of inspiring ideas from it!
How Did You Meet Your Groom And When 
Did You Know He Was “The One”?
We met at a senior analyst training for the consulting firm where we both 
worked. We could tell we both liked each other because we ‘coincidentally’ 
always found each other during breaks and meal times to talk and get to 
know each other.
I knew he was “the one” during the walk home on our first date. The whole 
evening felt perfect and neither of us wanted our time together to end.
Share The Scoop On Your Proposal Story!
We proposed to each other on our four year anniversary while hiking in the 
Pacific Northwest. Vikram proposed to me with a family heirloom ring after 
sunset in the Northern Cascade Mountains, getting down on one knee in 
our cabin by the fireplace (surrounded by roses!). I proposed to Vikram a 
few days later with my grandfather’s ring (it still has my grandparents’ 
initials and 1944 wedding date engraved inside!) at a quiet alpine lake 
outside of Vancouver.
Tell Us How You Went 
About Planning Your 
Wedding, And Your 
Overall Experience With 
The Venues, Hair & 
Makeup, Outfits, Decor 
Theme, And All Of The 
Other Important Details.
Our wedding planner – Suzy Sparacio from Clementine Custom Events in 
Chicago – is our hero. She was very supportive and understanding as we 
created the vision for our special day, and then made it a reality!
Our photographer – Emilia Jane – was able to balance moments of being 
clear & directive (e.g., large group photos) with blending into the 
background to capture intimate & candid moments throughout our 
special day.
Our florist – Flowers for Dreams – did a terrific job of bringing to life all 
aspects of our day from building our Mandap (and all associated floral) to 
magnificent centerpieces during our reception.
Hair & makeup – Rosie from The Bridal Beauty Team – ensured every 
woman in the wedding party felt like a queen.
How Did You Select Your 
Bridal Lengha Or 
Wedding Dress? Did You 
Have A Favorite Color In 
Mind?
A dear friend of ours went above and beyond to support us while she was 
visiting family in South India. I’ll never forget her and her mother 
WhatsApp video calling me with yards of gorgeous lenghas and sarees 
unfurled at a bustling shop in Coimbatore. For the saree, it was very 
important to me and my husband to wear a traditional South Indian 
wedding saree (red with gold embroidery).
What Was The Most Enjoyable Part Of The 
Planning Process, And Why?
O ur favorite part was tasting the food and cake. We are both foodies, and 
it was the moment in the planning process that made the wedding feel 
real. It made us very happy and excited to host and serve our loved ones 
this delicious food.
What Did Your Guests 
Particularly Love About 
Your Wedding?
Our guests particularly loved the way that our wedding respected both of 
our cultures and reflected each of our personalities. From my childhood 
priest cracking jokes about us during the Episcopalian sermon to holding 
hands during the Saptapadi, the fabric of the day was woven from 
threads that represented our lives as individuals and as a blended family.
Was There A Really Special Moment In Your 
Wedding That Constantly Replays In Your Mind?

is a classically trained singer, so this is a delightful treat!).
